persons, but principally by the
noted "Black Jack" Yottow as float

be reached. All agreed to abandon the

Stockings at 1920 a Dozen.

From the Washington Herald.
Last year it was parasols, this
year they are crazy over stockings"
said an old lady who keeps pretty
well up in the doings OF the gay world.
"And such stockings" she proceeded.
"Think OF paying $120 per dozen for
them!"
what on earth do women want
with such expensive hosiery" asked
Want? They don't know what
they want" was the answer. "Now,
there is Mrs.---,"naming a young
married belle whose husband and ia.
ther are both doing their best to spoil
her. before she went away for the
summer she showed me three dozen
pairs OF stockings. The total cost OF
them was $500. They were OF all col
ols in the rainbow, and as thin and
find as cobwebs. The latest freak in
fashion is to have bit OF the finest
lace let in the silk at the instep. And
on some of them is the loveliest en-
hroidery ever seen, all handwork.
1.-THE soft white stockings that Were
thought so neat upon Well-Jurneu
ankle in my girlhood have passed
away still think girl can wear
nothing more attractive, but, bless
you, they wont believeyou, Thenew-
tangled denominations of all colors
are the thing And, strange as it may
seem, black is the most fashionable
hue in these high-priced stockings.
Why. even remember the time when,
ii girl had worn black stockings, she
would have tabooedl There is moth
inn, to my mind, that a woman can
put her feet into that il uglier, but it's
the fashion. and so they are worn. i
don't think the girls nowadays have
the sense they did IN my time, anyway
this was when Prince John Van
Buren, was the chief beau ofNew York,
and when men actually wore velvet
collars on dress coats-but in extrava-
gance. Why. n girls stockings nova

longed to take her to his heart; but
that could never be again.
"Will you first explain to me" he
answered, trying to be hard and cold
explain to me where you were yester-
day."
Certainly he is mad" she thought,
and she tried to be very calm.
"Ah, yes" he went on. you can
look very innocent, but, woman, look
at that" and with tragic gesture he
held up the paper.
Mildred looked mt it bewildered then
she read, "Dear Frank" A geam OF
light first came into her face, and
gradually deepened into an expression
OF interest and amusement. She UNI
derstood it all.
John looked to see her crushed, de-.
spairing and penitent; and instead he
witnessed this unaccustomed, this ex-
traordinary, change; and laughter
peal after peal OF silvery laughter
rang through the rooms. She tried to
speak. but could not.
John in his turn began to think she
was mad.
At last, with tears rolling down her
cheeks, not from grief this time, she
said:
ooh, you dear silly--silly thing.
Oh, you dear goose-that's my story
and was going to surprise you
and bring you ever-ever so much
money-and now you have gone
and spoiled" and here she began to
cry in earnest. "And-you-have-
observation-disclosures"
Her sobs, together with John s great
EMBEDDING arms, stifled the rest. "Oh,
my angel, my angel, haye been such
n brute. Can you ever forgive me?"
That was what John said; but this
pen refuses to attempt the portrayal
OF what he felt. He had been will
ing and n loving slave before, and
now he was in addition penitent
and crest-fallen one besides. And SO
his CHAINS were riveted anew.
As limited before, John had pro.
fessioral character quite distinct from
his domestic one. This duality affords
much needed outlet to perturbed
spirits; hence as he turned towards his
Office the next morning an omnously
stern look came into his face.
The unfortunate man whose first
book he reviewed that day never sus-
pected that the savage criticism which
very nearly threw him into u nervous
fever, and quite into despair, was al
most entirely inspired by the misad'
ventures Just related. ii. A.

1.-The Good Old Times"

From the Bridgeport Sentinel.
We often hear OF the good old days
OF yore." Why deprive ourchidren OF
the enjoyment OF those old days?
Why not pass q law forbidding steam
boats from blowing the waters; rail-
roads from running on land, telegraphs
from sending messages, telephones
being used; all furnaces, steam heat
srs, etc. to be taken out OF houses
and other buildings, all CRATES Tor
burning coal to be taken out, all
stoves to be melted for old iron, all
water works in cities to be left emp
ty; the use of all gas and other ilu-
minators, except dipped tallow can
dies, to be disused, and really 90 back
to the good old times" LAY for five
yeats. Then, if at midnight on q
cold, stormy night, a doctor IS
wanted, he must be sent for III
stead OF telephoning for him. If
one wished to send message to
q distance, instead OF telegraphing
he must write q letter and send it by
stages to its distant place, and wait
patiently for days or weeks for the
answer. When one goes home on a
freezing night he can sit by wood fire,
roasting on one side while freezing the
other, and reading by the dim light of
q tallow dip, instead OF the blaze OF
yaslight or the more agreeable light OF
kerosene. II he undertakes n tourney,
,nsLead OF getting into The cars and
going where he wishes, The best he can
do is to take n stage, at four times
the cost and ten times the discomfort
OF the cars. Let these and other mod
srn improvements be forbidden and

long would it before an extra session
OF the Legislature would bedamanded

Several years ago Miss Beiby,
young English woman who had stud
led medicine to fit herself for useful
ness as o. missionary at Lucknow in
India, was sent for by the wife OF the
native prince OF Puma, who was i'll.
Puma was n long distance from
Lucknow, and the journey was a dan
gerous one. II Miss Belly went, she
would be separated by more than a
hundred miles from any white man.
Her friends urged her to refuse. The
Englishwoman was young and timid,
but she knew her duty; she went, re-
manned two months, and cured the pa
tient When she was about to return,
the Rance sent to her and begged her
to 60 in person to Queen Victoria,
with the message that Indian women,
not being allowed the attendance OF
men physicians, died III great num-
bers every year for want OF care. The
Rance brought paper, pen and ink,
and with tears besouglit Miss Beiby
to write her petition to the Queen to
send to them women doctors. Write
it small, Saheba," she begged, 'for
! shall put it in n locket and hang it
about your neck, and you must wear
it until you put it in the hands OF the
great Rance herself" Miss Belly
returned to England the next
year, obtained an interview with
Queen Victoria, and placed the
locket in her hands with the message.
The Queen was deeply touched, and
empowered Lady Duiferin, the wife OF
the viceroy OF India, to form an asso.
citation for sending out female medical
md to the women OF India. Many
women doctors have been sent out by
the association, and Indian women
are now being educated as physicians
and nurses. An estate OF so acres,
with large buildings, has been given by
a native prince as a hospital for Hin
doc female patients. Had the timid
missionary refused to undertake the
perilous duty to one woman these
great blessings which are but the be-
ginning OF help and hope for all the
women of India-probably never
wonld have come to them. Sow the
seeds, however small it be, OF good
deeds. Only God knows what the
fruit will be.
